Forgive me for drawing what appeared to be an obvious inference. If you don't want to imply that the project enjoys some sort of unfair privilege, or is subject to some sort of unfair influence, by reason of its financial support, then why bring it up at all - particularly the anonymity? Lost of open-source software projects have received donations to support development. Some donors have wished to remain anonymous. Mentioning such support in the context of other unfair advantages that you see iD as enjoying is highly suggestive, whether you intended it or not. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
